I'm pretty sure the fictional planet came before the chocolate.
Now I shall Google or go mad!
I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Tom Hardy, NSFW. He should do a movie with Ewan. And puppies.

Well, according to Wikipedia:
The name Dagoba is a Sinhalese corruption of dhatu-garbha, a Sanskrit word for stupa. (The similarly-named fictional Dagobah in the Star Wars universe was derived from the same inspiration.)

I want hot chocolate now! Desperately. You people are bad for the temptation-avoidance.
I'm in the process of two tasks I've been meaning to do, but keep neglecting. Including cleaning off the camera. Grace this week at the hospital.
I am also trying to put together gift bags for kids' birthday party. I actually made and personalized the gift bags (with each kid's initial) and I made the crayons (in car shape!) for the gift bag. But now, I feel like I don't have enough stuff for them. Bags and gifts.

Huh. I guess I'm married to shrift, because Dan had the exact same reaction. He's still pissed.

Because books.
Kay, do you want everything in the gift bag car-themed? Because at that age cheap bubbles, a little dollar-store notepad, and a bouncy ball would be cheap and help fill it. Oh, also crazy straws!
The car crayons are so cute.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I always make hot cocoa with milk. Granted, I also use the powdered stuff, and mix in a couple of generous shakes of cinnamon, but I think it's nom!
I take a packet of sugar-free hot cocoa mix, break up a square of Ghirardelli 100% cocoa solids baking chocolate into it, pour almost-boiling water over it, stir like the dickens, and if available add a splash of cream. Or brandy. Or whiskey. Depending on whether it is before work or after.

Kat, that photo of Grace is adorable. Seriously making me smile.

Amy, bubbles would be easy enough (plus I can label or sticker the bottles, as I am doing with the soda and water bottles). And I thought maybe a strip of Mrs. Grossman's stickers too.
For the party there is one craft project (foam cars) and one art project too.
I need an intervention.
